Google I/O 2014 will focus primarily on design

Registrations for the Google I/O event went live a couple of days ago and will last until tomorrow i.e. the 18th of April. But up until this point, it was unclear as to what’s on the agenda for the event. And now, the lead designer behind the Google Search team has shed a light on what to expect from Google during the I/O event in late June.

Speaking to TechCrunch, Jon Wiley said that Google will shift its focus towards design this year. It is likely that we will get to see some new apps or features being added into existing Google applications. Wiley didn’t confirm anything but merely said that there will be more of a human element to its services this time around.

He said – “People are familiar with Google’s expertise when it comes to computer science, and our ability particularly within search to create the most relevant answer and deliver it to them as quickly as possible. What doesn’t get talked about quite as often is…the nuance of crafting those experiences. When I think about great design, I think about it in terms of being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. It’s about empathy.”

Google is expected to discuss Android Wear and the devices that come with it as well. It seems unlikely at this point that Google would announce hardware during the course of the event, but nothing can be predicted this early on.
